Anurag Kashyap (born 10 September 1972) is an Indian film writer, director, producer, and actor. He is often regarded as the face of an emerging new wave cinema for producing numerous independent films with newcomers. For his contributions to film, the Government of France awarded him the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) in 2013.

After writing a television serial, Kashyap got his major break as a co-writer in Ram Gopal Varma's crime drama Satya (1998), and made his directorial debut with Paanch, which never had a theatrical release due to censorship issues. He then went on to direct Black Friday (2007), a film based on the book by Hussain Zaidi about the 1993 Bombay bombings. Its release was held up for two years by the Central Board of Film Certification because of the pending verdict of the case at that time, but was released in 2007 to widespread critical appreciation. Kashyap's followup, No Smoking (2007) met with negative reviews and performed poorly at the box-office. His next venture Dev.D (2009), a modern adaptation of Devdas was a critical and commercial success; followed by the political drama Gulaal (2009), and the thriller That Girl in Yellow Boots (2011). His prominence increased with the two-part crime drama, Gangs of Wasseypur (2012). His next films were Bombay Talkies (2013), Ugly (2014) and Bombay Velvet (2015).

Apart from filmmaking, Kashyap serves as the Member of board of the Mumbai-based NGO, Aangan, which helps protect vulnerable children around India. He is the founder of two film production companies: Anurag Kashyap Films, Phantom Films with partnership from directors Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl and producer Madhu Mantena.

Early life

Anurag Kashyap was born on 10 September 1972 in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.[1][2] His father Prakash Singh worked as a Deputy General Manager at Obra Thermal Power Station in Sonbhadra district near Varanasi.[3] He did his early schooling in Green School Dehradun and, age eight onwards, at the Scindia School in Gwalior. Some of the locations used in Gangs of Wasseypur are also influenced from his own old house where he himself lived with his parents, sister Anubhuti Kashyap and brother, Abhinav Kashyap.[4][5] Abhinav is also a filmmaker, while Anubhuti has been his assistant in most of his films.[6]

Due to his desire to become a scientist, Kashyap went to Delhi for his higher studies and enrolled himself into a zoology course at the Hans Raj College (University of Delhi); he graduated in 1993.[7][8][9] He then eventually joined a street theatre group, Jana Natya Manch; and did many street plays.[5][9][10] The same year, his couple of friends "urged [him] to catch a de Sica retrospective" at the International Film Festival of India.[4][5][11] In ten days, he saw 55 films at the festival, and Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves was the film that influenced him the most.[9][12]

Career

"As a 19-year-old student of zoology at Delhi's Hansraj College, I had no desire to be a filmmaker. Till I watched Bicycle Thieves, a 1948 Italian film directed by Vittorio De Sica, at a film festival in Delhi in 1993. After the film got over, I decided to chuck it all and leave bag-and-baggage for Bombay to be a filmmaker."

—Kashyap on how one film changed his life.[7]

After the de Sica experience, Kashyap arrived in Mumbai in 1993 with INR 5,000 in his pocket.[10][13] Soon the money ran out, and he spent months on the streets, staying in lofts, "sleeping on beaches," "under a water tank and in the St Xavier's [college] boys hostel."[5] He then managed to find work at Prithvi Theatre, but his first play remained incomplete because the director passed away.[8]

Writer and director

1990s

In 1995, an acquaintance introduced Kashyap to Shivam Nair. The day they met, Kashyap watched Taxi Driver (1976) at Nair's place, and the film inspired him to "write something". The team of Sriram Raghavan, Sridhar Raghavan and Shiv Subramaniam were working on two projects, one of which was a short TV series, Auto Narayan, based on the life of serial killer Auto Shankar; the second one was a film scripted by Kashyap.[9] Auto Narayan got delayed because the script written by Subramaniam was not "working". Kashyap rewrote the script, and got credit for the same, but it was scrapped.[10][12] In 1997, he wrote the screenplay of Hansal Mehta's first film, Jayate which failed to find a theatrical release;[14] and episodes of the TV series Kabhie Kabhie (1997).[15]

In 1998, the then prominent actor Manoj Bajpayee suggested his name to Ram Gopal Varma to write a film.[16] Varma liked Kashyap's Auto Narayan and hired him, alongside Saurabh Shukla to write the script for his crime film, Satya (1998).[8][10] Satya was a critical and commercial success,[17][18] and is regarded as one of the best films of Indian cinema.[19][20] He later collaborated with Varma in scripting Kaun (1999) and writing dialogues for Shool (1999). In 1999, he made a short film, titled Last Train to Mahakali for television.[21]

2000s

While working with Nair, Kashyap came across files related to the Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders that took place in Pune in 1976, which became the inspiration for his directorial debut Paanch.[22][23] A crime thriller about a group of five friends of a rock band who turn into criminals.[24] The film faced trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification[25] because, according to Kashyap: "They felt it wasn't healthy entertainment because it dealt unapologetically with sex, drugs and misguided, alienated youths".[5] It was cleared by the Board in 2001,[26] but remains unreleased due to some problems faced by the producer.[12] In these years, he also wrote dialogues for many films including Paisa Vasool (2004), Mani Ratnam's Yuva (2004), the Canadian film Water (2005), Main Aisa Hi Hoon (2005) and Mixed Doubles (2006).

After a failed attempt to make Allwyn Kalicharan in 2003,[27] Kashyap started working on Black Friday (2007), a film based on the book by Hussain Zaidi about the 1993 Bombay bombings.[28][29] The Bombay high court put a stay on the release of the film, until the judgement in the bomb blasts case was delivered. It was decided after a petition filed by a group of 1993 bomb blasts accused, challenging the release of the film based on their case.[30] The film got censorship clearance in 2007, and was released after two years meeting universal acclaim.[31][32] Nikhat Kazmi gave the film a three star out of five rating and mentioned: "It was indeed a difficult film to make, yet the director has managed to grapple with all the loose threads and put them together in a composite whole. So much so, the film moves like a taut thriller, without ideology colouring the sepia frames."[33]

Kashyap attending the Rome Film Festival in 2007

The same year, Kashyap adapted Stephen King's short story "Quitters, Inc." into No Smoking. A surrealistic thriller about a chain-smoker who gets trapped in the maze of a person who guarantees will make him quit smoking.[34] The film starring John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey and Paresh Rawal in the leads with music by Vishal Bhardwaj, premiered at the Rome Film Festival.[35] No Smoking received an overwhelming negative reception and failed at the box-office.[36][37] CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand called it a "colossal disappointment".[38] His final release of the year was Return of Hanuman, an animation film about adventures of the Hindu god Hanuman.[39]

In 2009, Kashyap had two releases. Dev.D, a contemporary take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel Devdas. It was the twelfth film adaptation of the Bengali novel.[40] Starring Abhay Deol who actually pitched the original idea of the film to Kashyap, with Mahie Gill and newcomer Kalki Koechlin portraying the characters of "Paro" and Chandramukhi respectively.[41] The film met with generally positive reviews and strong box office results.[42][43][44] Gulaal, a political drama, was his final release of that year. Kashyap started working on the film in 2005, and had finished 70-80 per cent of the film in 2006, when its producer fell ill. Later on, Zee Motion Pictures took over the project and was finally finished in 2008 and released on 13 March 2009.[12][45] Anupama Chopra gave the film three stars and referred to Kashyap as "the Anti-Yash Chopra".[46] Despite positive reviews, the film underperformed at the box office.[47]

2010s

Mumbai Cutting (2010), an anthology film, was his next directorial venture. It consisted of eleven short films made by eleven directors.[48] He directed one of the short film, It premiered at the 2008 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.[49]

In 2012, Kashyap came up with his ambitious directorial venture Gangs of Wasseypur, which screened at the 2012 Cannes Directors' Fortnight,[55] London Indian Film Festival,[56] Toronto film festival[57] and the Sundance Film Festival in 2013.[58] The film with an ensemble cast, was a two-part crime saga centred on the coal mafia of Dhanbad with the story spanning from the early 1940s to 2009. The first part was released on 22 June, and the second on 8 August 2012, both receiving appreciation from Indian and international critics alike.[59][60][61][62] The combined budget of the two films allowed it to be a box-office success.[63][64]

In 2013, Kashyap directed That Day After Everyday, a 20-minute short-film that was released on YouTube; starring Radhika Apte, Geetanjali Thapa and Sandhya Mridul. It showed the story of three working women facing troubles everyday, both inside and outside their houses and how they overcome them. Dealing with issues like eve teasing and public molestation, the video got four lakh hits in two days.[65] Speaking about the purpose of the project, Kashyap showed his intension to make people feel angry: "..the idea was not to offer a solution, just show something to create that feeling".[66]

It was made to celebrate the 100 years of Indian cinema,[67][68] and was screened at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.[69] The film did not perform well at the box office,[70] but was well received by critics.[71][72]

Style, themes and influences

Kashyap is regarded as an auteur and postmodern filmmaker.[132] While promoting Bombay Talkies in Anupama Chopra's show, Dibakar Banerjee described Kashyap's aesthetics as "purely new age or purely Indian"; projecting "modern post independence India" in his films.[133] He prefers shooting on real locations by employing guerrilla-filmmaking techniques with hidden cameras,[134] and often makes his actors improvise their dialogues on set.[135][136] In Ugly, he did not show the script to any of the lead actors.[136][137] He frequently uses hand-held camera and experimental soundtracks.[138][139]

Film maker Zoya Akhtar wrote: "He has a very strong storytelling style and he proved that you could tell a great story with not a lot of money."[140] Actor Ranbir Kapoor added, "He's very sensitive to actors, to performances and very attached to his cinema. All his films may not be big money spinners but the impact Anurag has, his contribution to Indian cinema, is immense."[140]

The protagonists of his films often deal with excessive drug, smoke or alcohol consumption, personal guilt, extreme rage and arrogance which leads them into self-shattering situations.[132] Often portrays small but strong female characters.[141] Most of his films deal with realistic scenarios and take clues from real incidents.[142] Like the 1976-77 Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders reference in Paanch,[23] the 1993 Mumbai bombing in Black Friday,[8] the 1999 Delhi hit-and-run case and DPS MMS Scandal in Dev.D[143] and the depiction of real life gang wars in Gangs of Wasseypur.[144] Ugly came from his "personal guilt" of not spending enough time with his daughter and the fear of losing her. With several real-life incidents like IAS officer whose wife filed a case of brutality against him.[145] A song "Sylvia" in Bombay Velvet was named after the Nanavati case, where Sylvia Nanavati was K. M. Nanavati's wife.[146]

Kashyap's work inspired British director Danny Boyle, who has cited Black Friday and Satya as the inspirations for his Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Boyle stated that a chase in one of the opening scenes of Slumdog Millionaire was based on a "12-minute police chase through the crowded Dharavi slum" in Black Friday.[147] He also described Satya's "slick, often mesmerizing" portrayal of the Mumbai underworld, which included gritty and realistic "brutality and urban violence," directly influenced the portrayal of the Mumbai underworld in Slumdog Millionaire.[147]
